Sharing highlights from my most 🌟WONDERFUL🌟 farm & philanthropy tour with @thewondefulcompany #sponsoredtrip⁠ ⁠ I’ve had the honor of working with the Wonderful Company for more than 15 years now, and I’ve always appreciated their commitment to nutritious foods, employee wellness, sustainability, and philanthropy.⁠ ⁠ Which is why it was such a treat to take a deeper dive into all these areas in this recent tour in the Central Valley of CA 👩🏽‍🌾 with a small group registered dietitian colleagues. ⁠ ⁠ We got to visit 🧡citrus, 💚pistachio and ♥️pomegranate orchards & packing facilities, as well as their charter schools, healthy employee cafeterias and markets, and free on-site wellness clinics.⁠ ⁠ We also got Q&A time with so many employees — ranging from farmers to plant managers to brand execs to Mr. Resnick himself, co-owner of the company and one of the most generous and genuine entrepreneurs (and humans) I’ve ever met. ⁠ But what truly blew me away was seeing their give back intentions manifested, including:⁠ 🏫 Creating charter schools with incredible education, teachers, sports programs and college grants⁠ ❤️‍🩹 Providing free healthcare to most employees and their families with on-site wellness clinics⁠ 🏡 Building subsidized housing for some families (with more on the way)⁠ 🍲 Offering free & discounted high-quality, healthy foods and meals to students and employees⁠ If you’re not familiar with the Wonderful Company, you likely know their brands: @pomwonderful @halosfun @wonderfulseedlesslemons @wonderfulpistachios @justinwine⁠ 💗 ⁠ It’s wonderful to see companies like this providing delicious, healthy foods along with a commitment to doing the right thing for generations to come! 🙌⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #thewonderfulcompany #socialresponsibility⁠ #givebacktocommunity #halos #farmerslife #sustainablefarming #sustainablefarmingpractices #wonderfulpistachios #pomwonderful #healthycommunities #employeewellness #waterconservation ⁠

Bringing back my favorite vegan turkey! 🧡 🦃 ⁠ ⁠ How cute is this 'Grapeful' Fruit Turkey with Cinnamon Yogurt Dip?! 😊 ⁠ ⁠ Here's how to make it:⁠ 1 pear, cored and halved lengthwise⁠ 40 grapes, halved⁠ 2 bananas, sliced⁠ 1/4 cup pomegranate arils⁠ 1 small carrot, cut into 4 legs and 2 beaks⁠ 4 black sesame seeds⁠ 1 cup flavored Greek yogurt of your choice (such as lemon, vanilla, or honey)⁠ 1 dash cinnamon⁠ ⁠ Make the turkey “bodies”: Place each pear half, sliced side down, on its own large plate. Make the “feathers”: Arrange the grape halves, sliced side down, in 3 rows outward from each pear body in a half moon shape. Create a row of pomegranate arils between a row of grapes. Top the rows of grapes with banana slices to create the look of the tops of the feathers. Make the “eyes” and “beak”: Place two black sesame seeds on each pear body to make the eyes and place a small triangle carrot piece on each pear body to make the beaks. Make the “feet”: Place two carrot pieces cut into the shape of stick legs with feet under each pear body. Serve with your favorite flavored Greek yogurt and a dash of cinnamon. Enjoy immediately, or store in the refrigerator for an hour before serving.⁠ .⁠ ⤴️ Link to recipe in bio!⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #funfoodforkids #thanksgivingfun #funfoodidea #veganthanksgiving #holidayrecipes #healthyrecipes #heatlhyholidayrecipes

Sharing my recent soybean farm tour highlights from Fargo, ND! #sponsoredtravel⁠ ⁠ I always love talking to farmers 👩🏼‍🌾, seeing their fields, and learning about their firsthand challenges and triumphs in agriculture. ⁠ ⁠ It was great to get an update on the latest science on the health benefits of soy, including heart health ❤️, bone health 🦴, and possibly skin health 😊. ⁠ ⁠ We also got to taste an array of soy products – from familiar ones like tofu and soy milk to less familiar ones like textured vegetable protein (TVP) and soy curls. ⁠ ⁠ I made a vegan bolognese 🍝with @lizweiss using TVP, and it came out SOY good!⁠ ⁠ As an added bonus, seeing Fargo for the first time was pretty cool, including the iconic Fargo Theater. ⁠ ⁠ What questions do you have about soy… leave them below and let me know!⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ @ndsoybean @thesoyfoodscouncil @chefabbiegellman @lorenadragomsrd #soyfarmtour #northdakotaadventure #northdakota #farmlife #agritourism #vegan #veganeating #plantbased #veganrecipe #veganfood #farmfresh #sustainableliving #travelwithpurpose #nutritiontips #foodie #fargo #fargotheater #fargonorthdakota

#AD As we approach cold & flu season, your immune system deserves to take center stage. ⁠🤩⁠ ⁠ That's why I'm delighted to partner with @tropicana_juices to share seven fun facts about your immune system + micro habits you can start focusing on now that can impact your health this holiday season and beyond. ⁠ ⁠ Hint: A micro habit can be as simple as drinking a glass of Tropicana Light in the morning. Made with real, sun-ripened oranges 🍊and no artificial sweeteners, each glass is an excellent source of vitamin C and a good source of potassium, but with 50% less sugar and 50% less calories* than regular orange juice.⁠ *not a low-calorie food; see package for nutrition information.⁠ ⁠ ⤴️ Link in bio to my blog + learn more about the new Tropicana Light orange juice beverage at Tropicana.com. 🧡⁠ ⁠ Teaser: Recipe for the Orange Breakfast Muffins with Orange-Infused Glaze coming soon... and they are SO good! 🥰⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #tropicana #orangejuice #momhack #momhacks101 #momrecipe #immunitysupport #immunityfood  #healthyfoodchoices #eatwellbewell #healthyoption #healthyfoodideas #strongimmunity #healthyfood
